COLLECTION | Daniela Barros & Joao Melo Costa
















Daniela Barros

Daniela Barros is a Portuguese fashion designer, her brand represents minimalism and draws attention to the feminine vs masculine discussion. Each of her garments ooze with personality. Her consistent minimal but chic theme is seen throughout her autumn/winter collection. Still following from last years minimalistic theme, Baros kicked off her show with tranquil music and a neutral palette. The models sillouttes were draped in soft colours such as creams and whites. Daniela delved into current trends such a backpacks last season it was all about the oversized clutches. This year her autumn/winter collection was all about shoulder bags a lot more practical than back packs. She injected colour in her collection with dark navy tops and a lot of layering which I’m sure is a season favourite.
